Comment Period Open For Barklow Road Extension
Project

Chillicothe – As part
of the Ohio Department of Transportation – District 9’s Planning Department,
the district’s Environmental Office is seeking public input for a realignment
and extension project of County Road 540 in Scioto County.

SCI-CR540 (109420) - The
proposed project is to realign and extend approximately 2,250 feet of C.R.
540 (Barklow Road) in Harrison Township. Approximately 750 feet of the
existing road will be located on a new alignment at the south end of the
project, and Barklow Road will be extended approximately 400 feet to the
north, terminating at the parking lot of the proposed Scioto Tech Aviation
School. The remaining 1,100 feet of Barklow Road will be reconstructed.

The project will not require any new right of way, and all
construction will occur on property owned by the Scioto County Board of
Commissioners. Currently, a contract is anticipated to be awarded in the summer
of 2019, and there should be little to no impact to motorists during
construction.
